Today Exclusive Links brings to you Episode 11 of our Podcast, Property Talk from Louise’s Lounge along with a little end of year cheer from the team titled Christmas Episode 2021 - The Year that Was. Louise was joined by co-owner and Exclusive Links Managing Partner Zarah Evans, who was in Dubai spending some quality time with the team and planning for an exciting year ahead. Together the ladies casually chatted with members of the sales and leasing teams about all things property, giving the staff an opportunity to get involved and share some festive spirit in true Exclusive Links style. “Now being based in Scotland full time - I am usually working more behind the scenes on editing and marketing of our Podcast episodes.” says Zarah “It was great being in Louise’s lounge, in front of the camera with some great names in the company, feeling the energy and watching the team blend together.”

• So what funny stories did Property Manager, Paul Birley have to share with us?
• Zarah chats with our Victory Heights Brand Ambassador, Hayat Shilcock on how she manages in many cases to get properties sold and rented even before listing them on the market. What are sellers and landlords expecting?
• Client Manager, Amena Akhtar has worked in Real Estate in the UK for many years and talks through what she sees as the main differences in the industries in the UK versus the UAE. She shares some advice she would give to any RE professional based in the UK looking to make the jump.
• Hande remembered the first property she sold in Dubai 12 years ago and Tetiana gives Louise a quick update on today's Russian investors market. Anna & Michael share their reasons for moving to Dubai - the city of dreams.
• Competition, Stock, Work Play balance, passion for the industry and standing out from the crowd - all subjects touched on by Louise and Zarah with their team. Even our award-winning Lisa Mackenzie popped past to say hello and join in.
